Robson ('Captain Marvel') was an outstanding performer for club and country for over a decade, Ferociously aggressive in defence and attack, he possessed seemingly unlimited stamina, the complete box-to-box player, deadly near goal, his great pace seeing him arrive late, finishing with either foot or head, Courageous almost to a fault, suffering many injuries and breakages. He led United to three FA Cups (1983,1985, 1990), the European Cup Winners Cup (1991) and jointly lifted two Premiership trophies (1993, 1994) with team captain Steve Bruce.
